They're coming! Mars Attacks!

Mars Attacks! 6 auditory invasions by garlic.wav is now available for free on bandcamp.
I took time to put notes about each tracks, so if you want to know more, go directly there.

Any kind of feedback is appreciated, so please express yourself.

I'm taking some rest from the studio. But I know I'll need to get in again soon.
So much stuff inside of me that need to come out, it's necessary.

new EP out soon!

It's been a fruitful march 2012! Taking advantage of my son's naps on weekends I created 6 new tracks over a month. I've been playing them in the car since the beginning of this week and decided some of them just need a little tweaking here and there. I'll work on that next weekend, and also try to put together a little design for it.

They will be presented in chronological order of creation, because each track was a kind of reaction to the previous one. The main idea was to not leave the tracks too long on the canvas and quickly record something live with minimal editing afterward. I'm also very happy that I could use guitars on two tracks (+ my bass guitar on one). There's some kind of concept around sci-fi because of some of the sounds I wanted to use. Consequently, track names (still in the work) will be reference to space and sci-fi movies.

Allow a week or two, and you'll be able to check that on Bandcamp for free (as always).

Next, I'll begin collecting movie samples (I keep watching films and say "wow! that would make a great sample!") and will work on finalizing that album I keep talking about! :-)

new EP soon?

I've been quite productive lately. While I'm still thinking of releasing an album soon, there could be an EP before, likely in April. Nevertheless, I'll put things on hold while I go on vacations to Thailand with my beloved.

In the meantime, you should go and buy the new [P.U.T] album!

new remix available

[P.U.T] will release a new album in march 2012. To prepare this release, a new free EP is available on Bandcamp. It features a remix by myself which came out quite quickly and naturally: cut some guitar loops,some bass loops, add a very simple bass synth, add new beats and a guitar solo from me and that's it! :-)
Vocals were a bit more complicated to integrate but I managed that quite quickly too.
All in all, I'm real happy with it and think you should check it out (did I mention it was free?)

Other remix news : OK, DJ Shadow didn't pick up my remix as a winner for his competition... but he took really time to write a long article explaining his choices and thanks every participants. It's not my first remix contest, but it's the first time I see so much respect for the people.

I was waiting for this contest result to start working on a remix comp. Don't expect it tomorrow:  have a few other things in the work, plus a daily life to deal with.

Xmas 2011

Under The Avalanche : Christmas 2011 is out today. It features a new track by myself. Working on this track made me work on a new album which hopefully will be out in 2012 before or on time for Apocalypse! :-)

Seriously: check the comp, it's free and available in your favourite format (FLAC, MP3, ...).

Thanks to Lukas Lunden for putting this together.

Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

DJ SHADOW REMIX COMPETITION

Please follow this link to listen to my remix for DJ Shadow "Scale it Back". While you're there, please take some time to vote for me (it's a copetition after all!). Thanks and enjoy.

It's on

As posted earlier, garlic.wav is now on Bandcamp: http://garlicwav.bandcamp.com
Already two releases there. You might want to bookmark it as I plan on posting more unreleased music.

All tracks are "pay what you want". Don't be shy and put 0 Euros: I'm not doing this to earn money (and the few euros I could eventually make will be reinvested in music toys).
